Virginia man escapes US after insanity acquittal
A man found not guilty by reason of insanity in a 2019 killing fled a Virginia mental health facility during an authorized 48-hour pass and traveled to Tajikistan via international flights. Despite remaining mentally ill and needing inpatient treatment, he left the facility without returning, prompting authorities to issue a warrant and alert border officials. He was previously allowed to travel in 2024 for passport procedures, but his escape has led to federal and state efforts to locate and arrest him if he returns to the U.S.
